Goddammit. It's Extend Ragna all over again

Hopping on now. Keep an eye out for the worst Valk on Dustloop.

Ggs to Antitidus. I'm not used to playing GG online, and I guess for good reason. That connection got rough. Johnny footsies are spooky. Millia vs I-No is such a fun matchup though! Mixup girls to the end!

That makes sense. Characters with really strong normals have always given our girl a hard time. Also. Satou playing Millia. Wut.

I have a question regarding some of the big players in Xrd. With all the OGs like Ogawa, Nemo and the like coming back for Xrd, which big Millias have been playing? I know Nakamura was dabbling in it though I haven't seen him play yet. Any news on Woshige potentially returning for Xrd? Surely some of them have been playing other than Daiji (who is the only Millia I've seen play really competently).

Because I wanted blonde hair and a black suit from the beginning. It looks sick, yo.

Is Slayer actually supposed to be bad in Xrd? The thought of a character like him being bad is unfathomable to me. What downgraded him so much from +R? Keep in mind that I don't play the character, I just love how his whole gameplan revolves around not giving a fuck.

That's a good point to make. He definitely seems like one of the characters Arcsys would add down the line. Jam, Baiken, and Johnny also come to mind.

Go online to get some of the rust off my Valk. Join arcade lobby. There is one guy with an open cab. He picks Kokonoe. The once gloriously green three bar connection plummets to blood red zero. So this is how it ends.

Thanks for linking this. Its exciting to see an Xrd video that has characters other than Faust and Ky throughout the whole thing. I'm pretty stoked for the new version of Millia. She looks to have more tools at her disposal than before.

Oh god don't even speak of him. A character that easy had no business being that good. I'm pretty interested in picking up Ultra though. Abel looks super sick with his Millia roll

Over the last month of me playing, some players that I get together with frequently made it known to me that while I'm not a bad player, my actual fighting game fundamentals are really lacking. Looking at my play, I can't help but agree with them. I play very offensive mixup based characters, and because of this I feel that my offensive play is the only thing I've got going for me. To be blunt, my neutral game is ass. Not once have I tried to actually learn a character of the shoto archetype since I find them mind numbingly boring. I attempted to learn Narukami in P4 and it lead nowhere. All I wanted to do was his absurd oki setups and sitting around in neutral pressing 5B and throwing fireballs didn't really feel all that fun. I'm having so much trouble finding a fundamental character across the 3 big ASW games that I actually enjoy. So I ask all the folks on DL with actual fundamentals: Who is a character across BB, GG, and P4 (Blazblue in particular would be nice since its my main game) that teaches good fundamentals yet leaves room to go crazy and use a more wild playstyle? Apparently Valkenhayn and Millia have left me with a one track gameplan XD

Join the Valk army, Dreizehn. We will welcome you with open arms. If you take the time to learn him (Which may take a while, he's rather difficult compared to most of the cast) you will feel like an unstoppable beast unless you are playing the Tao or Litchi matchup. I will also tell you what the Valk bros told me when I joined: w.jC da bess.

Do we even know what Bedman's playstyle is supposed to be? I can never really discern what it could be since the only Bedman players in the videos I've seen do nothing beyond float around and die. Any info?

Hopefully I can still scum people out with Clarice's one frame sweep and not have to learn the game :3

My friends are asking me if I will be switching to Arakune. Problem is... I don't know how to play anyone else. I find comfort in the fact that our character is one of the un-nerfables. At least he has been up until now. Valk is love. Valk is life.

I'm not sure whether I should be worried about these changes or not. It's like one moment someone makes them sound crippling and the next they sound like they are not so bad. Hopefully things become clearer soon.

I'm super bummed that the only character who exhibits the playstyle I like is that asshat Kirito. The only characters I really like fall into the two gameplay categories I dislike the most (Misaka as a zoner and Shizuo as a grappler). Here's hoping for a few new characters that fit the bill for me.

I'm not so sure bout these changes. Some of them seem like pretty blatant nerfs and the rest of them seem quite inconsequential. It's as though they looked at the character and just thought "Lets just make him slightly worse"

I've been looking at some of my match footage and it has made me realize something. When I play, I'm sort of programmed to just go freaking crazy and rush people down 100% of the time. I feel that this might actually be harming my success rate. What are some good situations that call for Valk to sort of float around waiting to punish whiffed shit? I just look at certain matchups like Hazama and Bullet and realize how much I have died because I was pressing buttons.

Seeing that video gave me more faith that Junpei might be better than I initially thought! That reset combo was ridiculous!

These are some sets I ran against my friends. I feel like I really stepped up my shit since the last tournament footage I uploaded. I've worked especially hard on optimizing my damage and improving my corner carry. The only things that irked me were my execution errors, making some dumb choices during pressure, and not being very aware of how far 6C actually carries people. Ive also been trying to learn w.5C oki, but wasnt confident in being able to pull it off. That shit is way harder in practice than it is on paper. Enjoy! I still hate Jin with all the passion in me. I respect this character way more than I should, and it doesnt help that its such a dull matchup. Set 2 was against Bullet. I know very little about the matchup, so I ended up getting dunked numerous times. The number of combos I dropped also makes me cringe. That beast cannon mixup I pulled off in the corner made me feel pretty gdlk though. This set also marks the first time I have ever comboed into astral. Set 3 was against Hazama. I have a decent amount if experience in this matchup, so it went a lot smoother I feel. I still have trouble with neutral against this guy though. His chains seem to negate so many options for approaching. Still dropping combos like a scrub as well. Set 4. Azreal. I know a great deal on how to approach this matchup. It went pretty smoothly, save for the obligatory dropped combos. The final set had me facing Kagura. I was pretty mad about this one. I know I should be manhandling this guy, I really do, he just has so many stupidly huge tools that lead to broken damage. Seriously, it seems he can just wait there spamming orbs and stuff your approach with 6C. His frame 1 DP also makes any mistake during pressure a fatal one, and his j.C makes anti airs obsolete against him. How the shit do you fight against this guy?

Can't wait to play as the shittiest male lead in the the last few years of anime. Despite that, if he's fun to play it doesn't really matter. The roster is looking interesting enough as it is, though Misaka and Shizuo are the only two I feel like I would want to play from what we have now.

This I really like. It's already blazingly fast, but going for a YRC mixup straight out of it?! That sounds freaking intense!

Well that goes without saying. I was wondering more about how stuff like YRC and BS could change things up for her. My bad, should've been more specific.
